This is a wonderful movie of what it means to never compromise regardless of the consequence. Whatever a person's worldview may be, life is really too short to remain neutral. It may seem "safe" at the surface, particularly in this present age that is abnormally saturated by political correctness, but not knowing what you live for and not having any depth in your conviction is simply quite tragic.
Even though this film is merely a dramatisation of Desmond Doss' life, it can still inspire those who can truly appreciate the bravery of his choices that's founded on his deep seated faith.

Loved this movie. By and far my favourite from 2016. Mel Gibson and Andrew Garfield have done a fantastic job portraying a combat medic who refused to give up on his pacifist and Christian beliefs. Many points in this movie moved me to tears as Desmond Doss clearly waited on God's instruction on what to do in one of the most horrific moments in world history. The only warning on this one is the level of violence. It's definitely a war film and I would only recommend it to adult viewers. With that said, it does the opposite of glorifying violence, and the message is so powerful it cannot overall be considered a dark film. Worth closing your eyes through a few scenes just for the message. Cannot recommend enough!
